After another two fantastic weekends of athletics in which St Paul’s won both the Charterhouse and Tonbridge meetings, three boys have been selected to represent Middlesex Schools in the English Schools’ National Championships at the Gateshead International Stadium, 11–12 July.

The 1st X1 continued their good form, beating Hampton School comprehensively last Saturday. The highlight was a record stand of 228 (Tom Powe 134/ Harveer Mahajan 105; Year 12, Lower Eighth) that led to a superb total of 301-4. In reply, Hampton were bowled out for 135.

St Paul’s easily topped the medal table at this year’s National Schools’ Regatta, taking four gold, five silver and three bronze medals. The nearest competitor won eight. No other school has broken into double figures in recent history.

This is our best performance at the regatta and makes St Paul’s the pre-eminent UK school for rowing in 2014–15.

The athletics team put in the strongest collective performance to win the Lord Burghley Trophy, held at Eton last weekend. School records were broken and the juniors and intermediates won their age groups.
